Answer:
Frogs are amphibians, they can live both on land and in water. Their lives begin in water when they are eggs. From the eggs, tadpoles emerge, which also live in water. When these tadpoles fully develop they begin to live on land.
A frog is a poikilotherm, which means that it is a cold-blooded animal. The body temperature is not constant and varies according to their surrounding environment. So, when it is very cold, they lay in the sun to get warmer and when it is very hot, they get into the water bodies to cool themselves.
The habitat of a frog is quite varied and can be found all over the world, except maybe, of course, the Antarctic region. They are not marine animals. They can be found only in freshwater habitat. A frog goes into summer sleep called aestivation and winter sleep called hibernation, to escape the peak summer and winter conditions. The common Indian frog goes by the scientific name, Rana tigrina.
Morphology and Anatomy of Frog
Morphology of a Frog
The frog is a chordate, showing the characteristics of the Phylum Chordata. The body of the frog is divisible into head and trunk. Neck and tail are absent in a frog. The skin of the frog has mucus, which makes the skin moist, smooth and slippery. The skin of the frog has the ability to absorb water.
It is dark green in color with irregular spots on the dorsal side, while in the ventral side; it is pale yellow in color. The head of a frog is triangular in shape with a blunt snout. The eyes of a frog have a nictitating membrane that gives protection when the frog is in water. On the sides of the eyes, a membranous tympanum (ear) is present that receives the sound signals.
A frog has two forelimbs and two hind limbs. They help in walking, swimming, leaping as well as burrowing. Sexual dimorphism is seen in frogs, with the male species having vocal sacs and copulatory pad. These are absent in female frogs.
